SANTA ANA – Carolina Sarmiento was appointed to the city of Santa Ana's newly formed Arts and Culture Commission, representing the areas of West Floral Park, Fairhaven and Santa Ana Triangle.

Sarmiento, who will be one of seven members on the panel, was nominated by Santa Ana Councilwoman Angelica Amezcua and was approved unanimously by the council last week.

The commission's role is to champion Santa Ana's arts community by promoting activities that celebrate the city's cultural heritage, providing recommendations on arts funding and creating guidelines for art acquisitions, gifts and loans. It would also advocate for a sister cities program.
